The Choice of Book Printing Paper

The choice of book printing paper
Coated paper, also known as printing coated paper, is made by coating a layer of white slurry on the base paper and calendering. The surface of the paper is smooth, the whiteness is high, the elasticity is small, and the absorptivity and receiving state of the ink are very good. Mainly used for printing covers and illustrations of advanced books.
Double-sided coated paper is smooth and white on both sides, with good gloss and high opacity. After color printing, the pattern effect is bright and color gradation is good, which is suitable for color printing. Suitable for general books, catalogs, calendars, posters, covers, etc.
Offset paper, also known as "Dowling paper", has no slurry on the surface, and its gloss and smoothness are worse than those of coated paper. It is mainly used for lithographic (offset) printing machines or other printing machines to print relatively advanced color prints, such as color pictorial inner pages, picture album inner pages, posters, advanced books, and book covers, inserts, etc. Offset paper has low flexibility, uniform ink absorption, good smoothness, tight and opaque texture, good whiteness and strong water resistance.

Magazine paper (high-white magazine) is light and thin, with a glossy surface and high white color. Therefore, compared with the general yellowish paper color, it can better show the printing contrast and the vividness of the color. It is the best in China. Thin lb fine paper.
